What does it take to grab some of those arresting photos you see every week on our Wicked Local websites and newspapers? Here's what photographer David Sokol says about our Picture This! Photo of the Week --- behind the scenes:

HAMILTON-WENHAM --- "I enjoy animals so when I saw the assignment that butterflies were going to be released I knew a good image could be made. I arrived expecting the butterfly release to be quick and over in a few minutes. I soon realized that each student got their own butterfly to release, which made the moment more personal for the students. I noticed one of the students closely examining their butterfly closely, I knew a closeup of the child looking at the butterfly would be interesting so I stood back and waited for him to hold up his hand and when he did I took the image."
